Thank you so much. Excellent teaching. One of the courses I took at Ligonier Ministries was "The New Testament Canon" by Dr. Michael J. Kruger.
In that course he addresses how critical scholars have popularized the idea that the canon was arbitrarily imposed on Christians in the 4th and 5th centuries in an effort to elevate one form of Christianity above others. He covers the rigorous process employed by biblical scholars and early church leaders to set the criteria for what should be in the cannon of officially recognized scripture, what should be left out and how the decisions were made.
It was one of the most inspiring and enlightening courses I've ever taken on the validity of scripture. Your teaching in this series does not waiver from Dr. Kruger's course. Thank you again.
Here is a link to the first part of a video version of the Ligonier course. I think it's 10 bucks for a download of the full content. Well worth the price.
Good job Jacob! Just going to leave the obligatory Catholic perpetual virginity of Mary post here. (Details omitted because we all know how this argument goes, and no one really wants to have it again).

*Obligatory Protestant eye roll and rebuke* 🤣

Excellent work! I really appreciate you taking the time to lay the case out this thoroughly and to make it freely-accessible.
Thanks my friend!
